Here's a fun bit of history

You might look at this watch and think "who the fuck would put a domino's pizza logo on a rolex?"

Short answer: Rolex did

Starting from the 1980's Domino's Pizza has had something called the "Rolex Challenge", if a franchise hits certain sales goals, the franchisee gets a Rolex from corporate

Domino's specifically orders these from Rolex, and the logo gets put on the watch in the Rolex factory

@Leucrotta this does imply that at some meeting somewhere the following took place:

King Harald V: I wanna give that penguin a knighthood

Advisor: Really Harald? You want to give a bird one of the highest honours you can bestow on someone?

Harald: lol

@Leucrotta Nils Olav was recruited with the rank of lance corporal in the regiment and rose to the rank of sergeant, Nils Olav II inherited his predecessor's rank and rose to "honourable regimental sergeant major", appointed to colonel-in-chief of the regiment, and given a knighthood, Nils Olav III then took over, inherited the positions and honours, and was promoted to brigadier

@Leucrotta they were indeed also penguins, no information on if they were related or not though

they were all from the colony at edinburgh zoo though so they could be

Reminder that the commander in chief of the norwegian king's guard is Brigadier Sir Nils Olav III

Of more note is the fact that Sir Nils Olav III is a penguin

the hell is an "orbeez"?

@mavica I know nothing about the functionality but the old analog ones are aesthetic as hell

@zalasur@mastodon.technology yeah, made the account in 2018, tooted a couple times in 2019 IIRC

y'know when I said that the fediverse is somewhere you're safer from bad actors than on twitter?

seems I spoke too soon, appears Tommy Wiseau's found his masto account again

me: *waiting in the getaway car during a heist*

other criminals: for the love of whatever deity you think holy, COULD YOU PLEASE STOP PLAYING JUDAS PRIEST AT TOP VOLUME?! YOU'RE ATTRACTING ATTENTION!

me: *jamming out* breaking the laaaAAAAWW!

technically any science @mavica does is computer science

@mavica shit, y'think that's what did it?

the universe saw planking and went "eh, that'll do"

(yes of course I always give him a little bit of milk)

our cat reggie needs ear drops

any time we give him the ear drops he gets all wiggly like "nope, sod this, fuck off, don't want" and tries to escape

any normal cat you'd expect to run off after we're done and let him go

not our reg

he makes a massive show of trying to escape then walks right back over to me and stands there all "milk now? been good cat. want milk"

@mavica bottoming-out eh?

@mavica mx clears are nice clicky and heavy

what if the hokey cokey really is what it's all about?

Pro-tip: it's only illegal if you get caught

also, if you do fuck it up and have a bubble of air in there you can say "oh, that's intentional, it adds a spirit level feature!"
